Your character also leaves footprints. When you wear shoes they're just oval, but when you walk barefoot you see human footprints! I'm not sure if it also works when only wearing socks, but it probably doesn't.
If you're running and change to the opposite direction suddenly enough then your character slides on one foot with a bit of a screech in a cartoonish manner.
I used to think that gold tools were automatically better in every way but some silver tools have their own little benefits. The silver axe has a higher chance of leaving stump patterns and only the silver shovel has a chance of getting ores from the money rock. I don't know if any other silver tools have secret benefits that the gold versions don't have but those are the two I know about.
During the balloon hunt tour on Tortimer's island you can get a shovel from Lloyd and dig up pitfalls that you can keep once the tour is over, it's a good way to get unlimited pitfalls or booby trap your island.
some people might not know this but apparently villagers recognize what you're wearing and would sometimes comment about it, especially Smug and then Snooty....
Kyle, my Smug Wolf keeps telling me that I wear the same cloths everyday. and I remember Whitney (Snooty) complimenting my shirt by name. oh and long ago Chief (Cranky) commented about a helmet I was wearing, he said something like he almost didn't recognize me in it or something.....
but it's mostly Kyle, he just loves talking about clothes and knows what I'm wearing....
I only discovered today that if you hold down the button it is possible to sprint really fast. And also you don't actually have to shake trees to catch bagworms. I forgot I was holding a net because I was standing behind it and tried to shake it, then bam: "I caught a bagworm!"
It's not much of a thing, but I discovered that round grass became star-shaped snow in winter. I had read a billion times that star-shaped snow matched triangle grass, so last Thursday I was so happy to wake up and see that star-shaped snow. It was quite a nice surprise.
I just noticed the ground is all on one level(except for the beach ofc). I remember in city folk there were ramps and like half the town was at a higher elevation then the bottom half was at a lower elevation.
If you have a house by the ocean, you can hear the waves.
If one of your villagers is wearing a shirt that is not in their clothing category(like the ones in Gracie Grace's fashion check), they will complain about it. Chief kept complaining about his shirt and I don't think it was the same category as his original red bar shirt.
-The items and flooring in a room affect the general lighting (I think).
-When in a house next to the shore, you can hear the waves.
-Me and a friend did glitches yesterday (getting on cliffs, in the river, etc). We tried the roof of the Able Sister's, and well, you can get trapped in the small space behind it ;-;
-Encountered Pascal for the first time. Scared the @#$% outa me.
-The sprinkler is unorderable. Why.
I just noticed that my snow on the ground looks like stars, which I love. I don't know if that depends on grass pattern, pretty sure my grass is like... circles or something.
Also, I didn't just notice this, but it did kind of blow my mind when I found out about directional lighting. I've had either snooty or uchi villagers bring it up before but I didn't think it was an actual thing until I started turning off the main light switch (bottom screen) in my house. Makes rooms look so much nicer, especially if it's a colored light; I have a red paper lamp in my sushi/Japanese restaurant room and it casts a chill red glow.
